Effects of different diets on body weight and glucolipid metabolism in mice. Panels A-M respectively show values of body weight, liver weight, blood glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, blood β-HB, fasting serum TC, LDL, HDL, TG, serum FFA, fasting serum ALT, and Oil red O staining of liver tissue

Notes: Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 10 for A & C-F and n = 5 for B & G-L). Analysis of Variance and independent-samples t test were used. If the letters on the top of bars are different it means there is statistical difference between the two groups (P < 0.05); NS, no statistical difference

Abbreviations: CD: chow diet; 60%HFD-C: HFD with 60% fat mainly from cocoa butter; 70%HFD-C: HFD with 70% fat mainly from cocoa butter; 75%HFD-C: HFD with 75% fat mainly from cocoa butter. 60%HFD-L: HFD with 60% fat mainly from lard; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance; TC: total cholesterol; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HDL: high-density lipo-protein; TG: triglyceride; FFA: free fatty acid; β-HB: β-hydroxybutyric acid; ALT: Serum alanine transaminase
